This F-16D was temporarily used as a trainer for the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron. Marked with white surfacing (the position of the flags), white missile rails' on the wing tips, and a display circle (with 479 in it) on the intake, all used for perfect positioning during tight formation flying. In the back-seat a Thunderbird instructor is seen, while in the front seat a future Thunderbird pilot is likely evaluated by him. Strikingly, odd from the normal digits (1 to 8) in the display circle on the intake of a Thunderbird, this one is carrying 888 in it, so this is serial 92-3888.
